Morning Lesson August 6, 2021, Transcription
Baal HaSulam - Peace in the World (The Condition of Life in the Last Generation ...)
1. R. Why are we reading these articles? Because they actually give us a perspective, a depiction that we should reach, not only us in the ten and between tens, but in the whole world, in humanity. We are in a state that we see everyone going through general processes, heat waves, coronavirus, all kinds of problems and there will be more. We know whatever will come back, it will keep going. Nature in gematria is Elokim, God. Nature will push all of humanity in all kinds of directions in order to help us go into what we are learning about, conception. All of humanity. Not on the degree we are doing it because we have to get there with our decision, our desire, choice and our own tendencies. We will be the head of that seed, of that sperm, that has to go into conception and then all of humanity and in this way we will advance. This is why we are reading this article about the conditions of the last generation, because they need to be revealed whether we want it or not. It doesn't matter. It will be revealed between us.
Subtitle: (01:53) “The Condition of Life in the Last Generation”
2. R. (02:43) There is no choice as we live in a reality that is entirely round. We all depend on one another and we cannot divide the earth into parts. If we reach the final state, the correction has to be in everybody. This is why peace has to control the whole world, over everybody. There's no difference between people or of different groups between them. Nothing. We all enter the law of nature. It is not some kind of party, government, the United Nations, or any others who determine and order how we should live. The Creator reveals His nature, the nature of bestowing peace and wholeness on everybody. We enter this force first by force and then by our own desire, and this is how we exist. This is the condition of the last generation. It is not called ‘the last’ because everything ends, but because there is no development afterwards. The laws of the last generation are in one direction: that our connection has to develop love in the whole world. I really hope that we will see the beginning of this development in us in this world. We have no choice, as it is written, “first by force and then by desire.” This is how it will be.
Reader continues: “If its power is not sufficient to fight the government….”
3. R. (05:32) We see parts in all kinds of countries that aren't happy with their governments, so for sure, they will try to increase their force and number, to bring down the current government and rule instead. We see throughout history that this is always happening.
Reader continues: “Furthermore if we take into consideration that always….”
4. R. (06:32) Because they have forces, they are organized, they belong to an army.
Reader continues: “and if we add to them the dissatisfied minority from….”
5. R. (07:07) What does he want to say? That in each and every country there are always people who are happy and unhappy, more or less, from one end to the other. This is why he says that there can’t be peace in a certain country or in the world unless we solve this problem so that we will all be satisfied because desire is the foundation of creation. The desire must feel that it is completely satisfied. This is the condition of the last generation. When can we reach the full satisfaction of the generation?
Reader continues: “Thus Peace in the world and peace in the country are interdependent….”
6. R. (08:45) People don't understand that building the society that they are in will never give them rest. We are always going to go through all kinds of events and transitions and there will never be peace. We cannot satisfy the desires of each and every one so that someone will not want anything. Only if we reach the desire to bestow. We will always struggle in the will to receive. The more advanced a nation is, the more divided it will be into many parts, into many parts and groups and there will never be any rest in their life.
7. S. (09:46) Why do we have this quality of war in our nature?
R. Because we are in the will to receive, it is not our nature’s war. Our nature is the will to receive and the desire wants to fill itself with what it wants. What it feels is the deficiency so we must reach a state that we fill our desire. We have no choice; we won't calm down until we fill our desires. Whoever is more assertive is a greater person.
8. S. (10:31) If they would understand the value of peace, they would be happy to adopt the conduct of the last generation. How will they understand this paradox?
R. You can't change the laws of nature, you just have to learn how to use these laws correctly. It is like communism or Marxism, or any kind of socialism that those who are drawn to some sort of social calmness, the whole concept of the left, have to understand that to reach it they must keep the laws of nature and not go against nature. I also want to reach it by keeping the laws of nature. You can't do anything artificial like ‘let's connect ourselves,’ ‘let's be close,’ ‘let's be friends. You can't do all of that. People that think that they can sit together, these and those and work and live together in one country with borders are not realistic. If it doesn't explode now, it will explode tomorrow. It must be a correction from within and not that you make borders on the outside and say ‘this is what will make it good’ like all kinds of parties they are trying to do.
S. “First by coercion and then by desire.” What is the expectation?
R. The expectation is one thing: that they will understand that everything depends on changing man. The whole thing is by changing man. You need to educate and gradually activate bestowing upon people just as you see how it happens with us. It's not simple. People supposedly want it but they see that their nature won't let them do this. If you ask each and every one of those here with us in the lesson, each and everyone wants it to happen. He says, ‘I want to be a bestower,’ ‘I want to be under the force of bestowal and I'm willing to do anything,’ but is he able to do it? No. You have to go through a lot of stages until the upper light bestows, once and again, and then we will be able to come closer to one another
S. Is this the process we all go through?
R. You have to do this process in the whole world, not like us because not everybody is such an ego with this like we are. We are the essence of the ego, a concentration of the ego. Who are we? We are the worst and we need to help everybody.
S. It feels that Baal HaSulam isn’t so optimistic. Are you, as a student of Rabash, optimistic at this time?
R. I'm not optimistic because I see you but because I see the force of nature working in humanity, I am optimistic because I see the Creator started working with us, with humanity, seriously and very short.
S. More problems and troubles.
R. Yes, what else can you do? More precisely, not problems with us but against our ego. This is why I'm certain he will succeed and that we need some more time. We need to work on the other side with an explanation.
S. With God's help.
R. If you say with God's help, for sure we will succeed.
9. S. (15:43) Are the power struggles in the will to receive that we just read about run by the Creator also?
R. Of course, who else.
S. It seems like the laws of the will to receive.
R. The Creator says, ‘I created the evil inclination.’ His creation is still going, that He is changing, teaching, and correcting through the shattering, and all kinds of corrections. This is what He is doing. Is there another force working?
S. This goal has extended for thousands of years.
R. For recognition of evil, until people recognize the true recognition of evil.
S. What characterizes the last generation? Is it that there are more groups against groups or countries against countries or that the human begins to feel that the will to receive is despicable?
R. There are a lot of details in the last generation. The plan is to realize the state not in spirituality, but in this world. He who rises to spirituality sees the future and to him the future is attained on the spiritual degree, whoever is in corporal reality sees corporeality. He says ‘above the clouds and below the clouds. These are two different things. We have reached a state that the Creator wants to go below and down to earth, to the humans of this world. His coming closer is very, very dangerous because this is the force of bestowal that is against the force of reception. We will feel as if we are exploding from within and outside, this is the plus and minus that makes a short circuit between them. By that we determine what Baal HaSulam sees from the final point, that our generation is entering a time called the last generation.
Subtitle: Pain Versus Pleasure in Self Reception “twice (18:28-19:52)
10. R. (19:53) We are working on giving and receiving
and there is like a lie here that we see in our eyes of what is going on, that supposedly I am receiving and giving and it is all for my benefit or not for my benefit, how do we get along here. There are a lot of people that think that we can get that by education. We can take this mass of humans and take them through Socialist Leftist studies that we can reach a state where each one will love the other and connect to the other. We will also cancel the matter of possessions like Marxist, nothing like this can happen or never happened on the contrary it brings more extra problems.
S. (20:57) So what kind of education do we need?
R. Education of what the wisdom of Kabbalah says, by the light that reforms, not by some kind of person that stands out and cries out from stage or United Nations or the Knesset or any place in the world that he thinks he knows what we have to do. We need the light that reforms that created us in such a way and also knows how to bring us to the balance state from in order to receive, that it will receive but in order to bestow with the round way, with everybody, not that it will change one person but that all of us in a balanced way will change and rise.
S. What does the common person need to understand about the light that reforms?
R. That he will feel in his mind and his heart that it is worth doing, even the animals learn, even the trees learn. Even on these still levels you can see, we can't measure this but also the still learns and there is like a plant, that we discover, a plant can feel if a good person comes close or a bad person and also rocks feel this. We just need to explain it to people, to awaken them for change.
S. What is the difference between the benefit that someone tells me from the United Nation or the TV what they talk about and the benefit of the light that reforms?
R. They are using different forces, the United Nation wants to bestow from his own forces to you as if he is connected and even if it is or not, what force is he bestowing and what force does he want to change your nature? First of all, we have to determine we are all egoists and in this way each one just wants to devour the other. Now the question is, how do we change ourselves from the desire to receive meaning to swallow and control the other to the desire to bestow to cause everyone good.
S. That is clear, but it is not clear that I want to change now so what is the difference if I want to change by that bigshot?
R. You don't change, only by the light that created your desire to receive, that light can change the desire to receive to be in the intention to bestow.
S. Why doesn't the light work on me if my desire is to change anyway?
R. The light doesn't work, it has to go through people in a chain towards you because it is a system, we all are included in a system called Adam that needs to resemble the Creator, that's why it is called Adam so the light has to go through the system, through those layers that are already connected and come to you and correct you. That you also will join that corrected part in the system of Adam. No one but a Kabbalists can do this and scrutinize it for everybody. This is why it all depends on those who are in a tendency to get straight to the Creator.
S. So the correction can happen only by us in the world?
R. Yes.
Reader continues: “This is because all of these self-reception manifests in us….”
11. R. (26:22) Meaning if everything were clear the suffering compared to the benefit obviously, we would choose the benefit even to change our nature to in order to bestow, even if we will all be close and be concerned to one another. We agree, why? Because there is no choice as we see according to the general picture as much as humanity suffered and is suffering and will suffer if they don't agree, meaning everything depends only on our dissemination system of convincing, let us hope that we will be able to reach it.
Reader continues: “And if this is so then what does one receive during one's life….”
12. R. (28:15) As much as we broaden and expand our participation in such a connection between mutual bestowing to each other obviously more and more people will feel as much as the whole world will be worth it if we do it. I don't want to speak too much about it as it as it will seem that I am disseminating to the last generation, but it is enough in order to convince us at least because we are speaking not on behalf of suffering we or not, we are speaking on behalf of the laws of nature that even if we are suffering or not the laws of nature will eventually convince us. They press on us and bring us through all kinds of suffering that are greater and greater until we will want our nature to go from the desire to receive two the intention to bestow. Then we will reach the end of correction.
13. S. (29:39) What is the difference in the change from reception to bestowal that we, people with points in the hearts need to go through, and the inversion from reception to bestowal that the world needs to go through?
R. We want to go through it from our own suffering our suffering, that my suffering is that I am in order to receive, not from the forces of society and not from the problems that I see in the world even though there are no problems, I am calculating because this is our soul that we feel problems on a spiritual level. I don't want to remain in order to receive as much as possible, to imagine that I want to attain the Creator as much as I understand that it is in order to bestow and that I am opposite of Him so I need to reach a state that in order to bestow for me becomes more and more desired than in order to receive because that is the nature of the Creator and I want to be adhered to Him. Our goal is different and the means to reach that goal are different. That is why there is a difference between what we are doing and the correction to what the world is doing because we are GE and we desire the degree of Bina. The world is on the degree of Malchut only desiring to fill itself. Or more correctly that if we desire to reach Keter, but we don't understand that Bina has to be in the middle so we are making that connection between Malchut and Keter through keeping ourselves correctly on the degree of Bina and then Malchut can rise to Keter and that is our duty.
S. Sounds like the form of bestowal for the world is not bestowal of the world it is reception?
R. They can't be in bestowal what are you demanding of them how can that be, they completely don't have any connection to bestow, they don't understand, let's do something in a corporeal manner but do understand that there is an upper force and it is demanding not like in religions or faiths, but that it is demanding for us to be in the form of bestowal in practice. Not that I'm giving something to someone so I will have the next world or whatever, but that I have to make my nature that way. That they don't have, as that is the AHP they are vessels that have reception and they can't be incorporated in the qualities of bestowal.
S. The world will have that sandwich we always talk about with reception and bestowal on top of it?
R. They will be happy to discover that there are those that he can grab onto them and say, let's go, we are behind you. That’s what's written, that all dwellers of the earth will grasp to those who can go to the correction and press on them and follow them.
S. When the correction will already happen in them because I feel good to bestow in the desire to receive or it will be like for us, one layer of reception that resists bestowal and a higher level where bestowal happens above reason?
R. Let the upper light bestow on all the layers of the desire to receive and all those layers will uplift until the degree of complete adhesion, Amen.
